Looking for feedback from those who have gone with the alternative guest book of having a laser cut tree made with leaves that guests sign. I was going to go in the traditional direction, but I keep thinking about a book just being put on a shelf and rarely pulled out to look at. My hesitations about this though are:
1) I see these marketed on Etsy as great for rustic weddings. Mine will be in a city and the venue is a former restaurant converted into an event venue, so definitely not rustic. Will this look out of place in the setting? I know everyone says "it's your wedding, you get to do what you want" but at the same time, I don't want it to look super weird. We are doing our First Look under a famous huge oak tree at our getting-ready hotel though, so maybe this would fit with that?
2) Do most guests understand how to sign it without a wordy explanation? We are going to do a short and sweet sign that says "Please sign the guest book (or maybe we should say sign a leaf?) and take the Key To Your Seat". Surely people won't get confused and sign the background instead of a leaf, right?
3) Does this still look good afterwards with everyone's scribbles on it?
Would love to hear what your experience was if you did this and whether you still love it on your wall or if you wish you had done something else. Thanks!
